If you want the most hilariously po-faced preachy Coldcut song, check
out 'boot the system' on one of their old EP's. Not only were the
lyrics awful, they made the mistake of printing them on the sleeve,
including the chorus word for word. It went something like,
Babylon system, ooh yeah,
Babylon system baby,
must fail baby must fail...
Something like that anyway. I actually think coldcut are pretty good,
but this was far and away the worst thing they ever did.
